Acer Aspire Timeline Review
I bought my new Acer Aspire 13.3 inch laptop about a month ago. This is my second product in the Acer series. My first Acer Netbook is still working fine and never had any problems. Today, I am going to do a short review on the Acer Timeline 13.3 inch Ultra-portable notebook.
Specifications
- Intel Core i5 – 430M processor 2.26 GHz 3MB L3 cache
- 500 GB Hard drive
- 4 GB DDR3 memory
- 13.3 inch True Cinematic View Acer CineCrystal LED Back-lit 18:9 HD Display
- ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 graphics card with 512MB dedicated memory, Up to
2138 MB HyperMemory
- 6-cell Li-ion battery Up to 8 hrs battery life
- Dolby Home Theater Virtual SurroundSound
- Ultralight, Ultra-portable
Cons
- Does not have an optical drive
- Bilingual keyboard can cause trouble. Sometimes I have difficulty using inverted come
and some other characters because I think French characters keep popping up. There
should be a separate French model.
- Given the fact that this is a high-performance laptop, its 1.3-MP cam just does not
integrate well into it. There is room for improvement in future models.
My Take
Most likely, you will not find the features and performance that this Acer 13.3 inch Timeline provides at a price like this anywhere else. The built materials look excellent, not cheap like Dell or Toshiba. This is an excellent buy and I am happy that I decided to buy this over anything else. If other manufactures do not come up with great products at cheaper prices like Acer, they will have difficulty competing with Acer in the future.

Nice review.
My brother and I picked up a nice inexpensive Acer laptop a couple of years ago for work purposes/travel and for the price we paid (I think we bought it at Wal-Mart), it was worth every dime.
From a personal use standpoint, I have grown away from all Windows-based operating systems because of the long-term stability, which is why I coughed up a bit more money up front 4 years ago when I bought my apple mac book. It’s been all apple from there but I can definitely see why people buy people go the Acer route.
Cheers
